CARRIAGE-CURTAIN FASTENING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 227,262, dated May 4, 1880. Application filed Februaiy 11, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J osEPH B. KENDALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Findlay, in the county of Hancock and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carriage-Curtain Fastenings; and I do hereby declare the following to he a full, clear, and eXact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a perspective view, illustrating how present device is applied to a carriage. Fig. 2 is a perspective view, showing the present invention in use. Fig. 3 is a perspective view, 011 enlarged scale, of the hook.

This invention relates to improvements in that class of devices which are used to fasten up and retain carriage-curtains when rolled up; and the novelty consists in the details of its construction and application, all as will be more fully set out and explained.

In the accompanying drawings, A denotes any carriage, made with usual frame and top,- having curtains B or like parts, adapted to be rolled up and let down, and O are the metallic curtain-fasteners to retain the curtain when so rolled up. The said fasteners O are usually fixed to and secured upon and outside the bow or frame and covering at such convenient and proper relation'to the curtain or part to be rolled up as to be under it, but immediately above the roll, so made and adapted to take on its hook c the ring I), which is secured on the said curtain or part rolled up at any convenient point.

The fastener G is made of metal, and it may be japanned or painted and ornamented in any way desired. It can be easily fixed in position by putting screws through the eyes in cross-piece c.

It will also be noted that the book 0 has its shank or end turned over the cross-piece, so that the hook may have some freedom of movement on this cross-piece.

It will be noted how easily the rings may be engaged upon the hooks, and also how readily they may be disengaged, while it is very evident that when the rings are put on the hooks they will be certainly and securely held there against any accidental displacement or disconnection from each other.

Having thus described my invention, what I consider new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a carriage, the combination, with the curtain B, having rings 1), of the metallic curtainfastener 0, consisting of hooks c, flexibly join ted on cross-piece c, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOSEPH B. KENDALL.
